'''[[Lucius (Forgeworld)|Lucius]] Pattern Drop Pods''' are heavier and larger than the standard drop pods used by the Adeptus Astartes and possess a more powerful engine. While lacking many of the internal support systems and armament, it nonetheless allows a single [[Dreadnought]] to be deployed into the battle with minimal delay. The stresses involved in the drop however are such that only the heavily armored shell of a Dreadnought could hope to survive the impact without being pulverized. Lucius-Pattern Dreadnought Drop Pods are tithed directly to various [[Space Marine Chapter]]s which have treaties with the [[Forge World]] of Lucius. These vehicles are prized due to the high attrition rate they suffer in battle.{{Fn|8}}
====Support Drop Pod====
Support Drop Pods are similar in role to Deathwind Drop Pods, carrying automated weaponry instead of troops. Upon landing, the pod opens to a turret-mounted plasma cannon. Unlike the Deathwind it is however capable of sustained operation.{{Fn|15}}
